>> thank you. thank you, president cohen and members of the board of supervisors and members of the public. it's truly an honor to be here today to address you. as president cohen mentioned today is the 40th anniversary of the sad day in our history in san francisco the assassination of mayor george musconi and supervisor harvey milk and i hosted family and friends of mayor musconi and supervisor milk and many of the board of supervisors to celebrate the lives of these two men. it was inspiring to hear about their stories of their work, life and legacy.

both george moscone and harvey mi milk ex exemplified through their actions. they began to point women of color and members of the lgbtq community which at the time was unheard of and we're fortunate and take for granted the diversity we're able to celebrate today. by doing this mayor moscone open the doors and mar -- mar i have milk fought for seniors and low income people and people of color. while this is not all their work, it was a key part of their l

legacy. they were ahead of their times in so many ways. i'm proud to continue to work with many members of this board for the purposes of moving forward with the kinds of policies that make our city better for all people of san francisco. while their deaths were a dark day for our city their lives and legacies are far brighter and will continue to shine today. >> supervisor: thank you. would you please call the first topic. >> clerk: supervisor yee submit the following topic noticed on our agenda, affordable housing, quality care and education and workforce. supervisor yee. >> thank you, madame clerk. thank you mayor breed.

i have hope that you as a mayor will continue the culture of wanting to stay ahead of the curve. my question really is about early care and education. as many people know, education benefits the economy and our babies and research has proven the benefits of early care and education for young children and costs families upwards of $20,000 a year. the e.c.e. workforce who performs this actual work and they are sorely under paid. vote understand this and in june

voted to support the early education for all initiative. this will expand efforts and the question i have for you is how would you lead the implementation of the childcare initiative and what is your vision for early care and education for the city such as addressing the early education workforce issue and the affordability crisis that parents have to go through in terms of paying for this care. >> thank you, you know education is a key priority for me and the public school system made me who i am today and we know early education sets the foundation for our youth and children for their future success. ensuring access means make sure we provide quality early care and education for our students.

access means providing the necessary resources so the ability to pay is not a barrier. access is also getting low-income children off the skitti skitting -- existing waiting list which i know you care about and it means once a child is in a program that program should provide an enriching experience. my office of early childhood and education identified three key areas necessary for fostering a competitive and well qualified and early care workforce. teachers need to be paid more with the higher cost of living and other more competitive job opportunities retaining and tracting a workforce has become -- attracting a better workforce is getting more challenging and early education program participants and with training as a condition of

funding more support is need. and teachers need quality education and quality teachers need ongoing education and opportunities for higher education. resources, we know, that are needed for this purpose. i am committed to supporting and enhancing our office of early childhood education in those particular areas and increased compensation for early childhood education professionals is definitely a priority of mine as well. >> supervisor: at this time you have an opportunity to make a follow-up question. >> thank you, mayor breed for your answer and i'm glad to hear we're on the same page. in the past, you've been one of the supervisors supporting some additional funding for the office of to do this type of work. as you know it's really a slice of what they need.

as you also know, the initiative i'm talking about is in the courts hand right now. and i'm pretty here we're going to win. we may not hear for a year. in the meantime, so the question for you would be, would you be supportive knowing that we need all the resources that are hung up in court right now. and in the meantime, there's going to be a year that might pass by and would you be supportive of providing additional resources in the meantime while we wait for the court to have the results? >> as i said, this is important to me and analyzing the budget specifically for this department exactly how resource currently advocated and where resources are needed are equally important

so my plan is for each and every department based on how much additional money we will have to invest and as i mentioned before as a top priority this is something i'm committed to. >> this is where it gets interesting. the mayor has the ability to ask supervisor yee or anyone in the chamber a question. madame mayor, do you have a question for anyone? >> actually, i don't. >> supervisor: i build -- built it up and you let us down. we'll move upon -- on. >> clerk: the district 5 supervisor, supervisor brown and they'll plan for homeless services, supervisor brown. >> thank you, mayor breed for

being here today. the majority of san francisco and until a court order is won to pass this measure. i want to thank you for proactively introducing education to allow city attorney h herrera to seek legislation and legislation may take months and years. i think people from san francisco understand the problem has been decade in the making and i think they understand how complicated it is and in the end the solutions will not problem or total or fast but this has also made it clear the majority of people from san francisco believe we can do better. there's a role for the city, government and more funding is needed. i think the message was loud and

clear, homelessness is one of our priority. so i want to know and the question is while the city waits for a judicial decision, how can we work with you to help deliver on the promise of prop c and the will of the voters and how can we work together to deliver more funding for homelessness as quickly as possible? >> thank you, supervisor brown for that question. following the election, it's important we all come together and move forward. as with june's 2018 proposition c regarding childcare and prop g that funds teacher wage increases, there's legal uncertainty regarding our recent prop c to fund homeless programs. because of the uncertainty to fund homeless programs, we know that we won't necessarily be able to, until we go through the courts access the funds.

we know that i'm committed to moving forward quickly and responsibly to address any legal challenge and it's why i put forward the legislation for the purposes of making sure that we confront any legal challenge head on to get certainty as soon as possible. and i think that if someone choose to file litigation, it is what it is and there's not much to do about that. i do look forward to passing the legislation quickly and i'm committed to doing all i can to see the funding from prop c is implemented as soon as possible in a responsible manner. but while we wait for funding i'm meeting with civic leaders to identify funding for programs and addressing homelessness, mental health challenges and

addiction and will add 20 new shelter beds and more addiction beds and i look forward to working on the challenges of vehicle homelessness and we'll have a number of announcements in the near future about additional plans for the purposes of addressing this issue. we can't wait until the courts make a decision. we need to move forward now and find creative solutions to address this challenge. >> supervisor bourown, do you he a follow-up? >> supervisor: yes, i appreciate the shelter beds. i think it's going to help a lot of us because i think a lot of us are just using enforcement instead of having the pathway to a shelter bed. my question is as a supervisor for myself and anybody else, how can we help you get the shelter beds out faster?

>> i'm so glad you asked that question because often times, it may not just be about funding. it's also about getting community support to open a shelter in a particular location. in fact, i know that supervisor peskin has identified a location we're currently interested in using in his district for the purpose of providing as many beds as possible but there has to be a community process. way you help our office implement these beds as quickly as possible is helping us through the public process and getting community support for these particular facilities in the areas that we've identified. that will be key to getting these shelter beds open quickly. and the fact is we need more beds. we have identified several locations and resources to support these beds and we will

need community support to get these facilities open. depending on who's district it will be in, my goal is to work with the supervisor of that particular district to get those beds open as quickly as possible so thank you for your question. >> supervisor: thank you. mayor breed do you have any questions for supervisor brown or any other member in this chamber related to the topic? >> no. >> supervisor: all right. we're going to keep moving on. madame clerk could you can thank you third. >> clerk: the supervisor from district 8 mandelman submit the topic on homelessness. >> i think it's indicative of where the city and sport is that two of the questions today relate to homelessness. i want to start by thanking you, mayor breed, for your demonstrated commitment to challenging homelessness but i

do feel i want to try to have the conversation more publicly around homelessness and district 8. the challenges are not unique to san francisco and i don't think they're the result of failures of local policy makers but that being said, i think our terms in office will be charged by how we tackle the issues. you and your administration are hard at work tackling the crisis city wide and we've made significant commitments to impact homelessness and i see that every day in the crews out a and i was surprised reading in the chronicle earlier this month about the city's success in resolving challenges and the unfortunate truth is in district 8, street conditions do not appear to be improving in a

sustained way. some may get resolved quickly but the constituents in the triangle are not seeing a reaction to the homeless folks seeking shelter in public spaces and there appear to be more on sidewalks and vacant door ways and garages than ever before. more troubling, they appear to be suffering from severe mental illness or substance abuse disorder. i recognize that addressing the challenges will take time. but i do need to be able to tell my constituents what they can extent to see and what improvements they may see and what are to address homelessness in the neighborhoods. >> supervisor: thank you, supervisor mandelman. i know you're committed to addressing the issue and helping people living on our streets not only in your district but throughout our city.

we've discussed this issue and i'm committed to address the issues in district 8 as i'm committed to meet the challenges. through our healthy threats operation center our departments are working together to address homelessness and quality of life on our streets. while we still have a lot of work to do, there are some encouraging signs. the department of homelessness and services reports we have helped 577 people exit homelessness between july and the end of september of this year. we are moving people into shelter and housing including to our new bayshore navigation center which just opened with 128 beds and have a new one on fifth and bryan with another 84 beds and i'm looking to open more beds as soon as we can and you talk about people living

with severe mental illness and substance bord -- disorder and i've announced plans to add more next year. i'm very much looking forward to continuing to work with you and the board on conservatorship legislation to bring help to those with addiction issues to the help and support they need. as you and i have discussed recently, district 8 residents can look forward to coordinated efforts of resolution teams coming to some of the areas by church and market areas but as i've said before, homelessness is not an issue that stops at district lines. it impacts every area in the city and some more than others. as mayor i have to look at

homelessness on the city wide level and address it as a regional perspective because we know there's a lot of work to be done. this was not created overnight so the solutions are not going happen overnight but i'm truly committed to work with you we can see and feel a difference on our streets every day. it will require more resources an will require work and it will require patience. thank you so much for your question. >> supervisor: supervisor mandelman, do you have a follow-up? >> an applaud each of the efforts your making and expanding the shelter bed capacity and the question -- the follow-up would be given those commitments an and resources we may be able to bring to bear in the 2019 budget, do you feel folks in the

areas of the city that feel they have not seen improvements will see improvements over the year? >> i think as the investments go as planned, 1,000 beds which includes mental health stabilization beds for people suffering from mental illness which also includes a few hundred single-occupancy hotel rooms. buildings we're looking to acquire which includes the shelter beds we talked about. if we can invest in those, which i'm hoping we'll be able to do early next year, we should be able to open up close to 1,000 possible beds. that's 1,000 people we will be able to get off the streets into shelter or some sort of housing situation. i think it will make a difference but it is not the long-term solution and part of

the long-term solution is investing in housing, getting rid of the bureaucratic red tape to build housing and talk to council to keep people housed and keeping it affordable and make sure there's more investments and looking to the state and hopefully the federal government one day but develop funding opportunities to get housing built. this is going to be a combination of things we'll need to do and work with regional partner in san josé and oakland for the purpose of approaching the situation on a regional level because here in california we know this problem is significant and if we don't continue to aggressively build more housing it's going to get worse. the key is housing production. the key is access for housing for different income levels not

just extremely low or wealthy. the people in the middle are the ones being squeezed out and we have to do a better job at that. >> supervisor: madame mayor do you have questions or closing remarks. >> yes, closing remarks. great to be back in the chamber. thank you all for your questions. i look forward to continuing to work with every one of you on the many priority you all have as it relates to the challenges we face in san francisco as well as the challenges you have in each of our respective districts. feel free to reach out to my office anytime and thank you for allowing me to be here today. >> supervisor: thank you. madame clerk, this concludes the formal policy discussion. thank you mayor for joining us. the matter has been discussed and now filed. madame clerk please called the consent agenda. >> clerk: items 2 through 10 are on consent and considered to be routine, if a member objects an

item can be removed and considered separately. >> supervisor: items 2 through 10. on the question shall the items be passed. pl please call the roll. >> clerk: [calling roll] >> clerk: there are 11 ayes. >> supervisor: the items are past man -- unanimously. please call 11.

>> supervisor: objection, the ordinance is passed. please call the next item. flexible, multi-use retail; permitting temporary pop-up retail uses in commercial spaces; permitting flexible retail in certain neighborhood commercial districts; permitting arts . >> supervisor: same house, same call. the ordinance is finally passed. >> clerk: madame learning. madame clerk. >> clerk: establish procedure of municipal transportation agencies for projects that do not include transit only or emergency vehicles and/or golden

gate transit vehicles to make the appropriate finding. >> supervisor: same house, same call. objection the ordinance is called. it's 2:33. let's go to the 2:30 special order. >> clerk: okay, 2:30 special order. we're ready. >> supervisor: we have three special accommodations. first i want to recognize supervisor tang and then hear from supervisor mann dallman and finally -- mandelman. >> supervisor: i have been working on illegal massage establishments and this board helped close many loopholes an ensure the businesses engage inning human trafficking or other illegal activity -- activities are shut down and i'd like to recognize george

montile. please come up. ladies and gentlemen, let's give him a round of applause. >> so george has spent the last three years at the department of public health. sadly for us, friday will be his last year as he'll be moving on to promotional opportunity with child protective services. while work in the massage program, george has taken the lead on the majority of nighttime inspections, issued many citations an worked with actions including the city attorney's office, police depend and planning department. polaris which has also been

trying to be on the front asked him to speak in florida. he's been involved in the vast majority of closures for massage establishments operating illegally. i can tell you his work has made a tremendous difference especially in neighborhoods like the sun set district where we have some the city's highest concentration of massage businesses. george took pride in his work and has been an outstanding representative of d.p.h. on the massage issues. extraordinary is how he is described by his colleagues at d.p.h. i want to wish george all the best in his upcoming role where i know he'll continue to help many more people. at this time, i also want to acknowledge the rest of your team here, stephanie curbing, the environmental hedge director and patrick bozel the assistant director of environmental health and the program manager and

antoinette flores and a senior inspector, and a former part of the team. all of you have been such great partn partners with our office over the years. there are crimes being committed whether it's involving human trafficking or so forth and you've all been instrumental in helping move forward policies an enforcement where necessary and doing it from a humane perspective and making sure people who need resources receive resources and help they need. thank you so much, george, for all the years of service. i want to thank you and if any of your team members want to come up, i invite them. i want to give you a minute to say words if you'd like. >> thank you, supervisor tang. i appreciate you always have an

open door policy for our program and the guidance and time you give to our program and showing that you care about your constituents especially those who need it the most. the practitioners that are victims of human trafficking and i appreciate the time and regulation and creation of article 59. without your support we couldn't do our work and we greatly appreciate it. i'm only a small part of a big team that works hard. our manager, when we get to the office he's always there and still there when we leave and he's hard working and all the investigators. they're all dedicated. i'm humbled by receiving this. i'm a small part of a big team. thank you very much.

>> supervisor: we'll keep the agenda moving forward. supervisor mandelman, the floor is yours. >> thank you, madame president. is shauna verago here? come on up. today, many of us in the lgbtq community are reflecting on the trailblazing leadership of harvey milk. he did and said things that at the time few other people were willing to do, say or demand. at today's meeting i'm honored to give this to another

trailblazer, shauna verago. in 1997 when the transgender film festival started many refused to screen the movies and the founder of alex austin and christopher lee had to create their own space to share authentic representations of trans lives and experiences and the transgender film festival, the first trans film festival in north america was born. shauna, who served as the festival's artistic director took over of the event in 2003 and has overseen it's continued expansion and success. during the last decade and a half, shauna has expanded the festival from a biannual to annual event and secured the location at the roxy theatre, in district 8 and support the work of more than 1,000 trans

artists. earlier this month, the transgender film festival celebrated the 21st year with another weekend of films at the roxy. in addition to her work with the festival, she is one of the bay areas most successful trans musician having performed as a trans out woman since the '90s and has received praise and publications from the huffington post and curve magazine and the first transgender woman ever chosen to be a san francisco pride grand marshal and served on the task force. as many know, november was declared transgender awareness month in san francisco. the final board of supervisor meeting of the month it's my honor to thank shauna verago for her advocacy and support for trans art.

>> on behalf of everyone at the transgender film festival, we'd like to thank you, supervisor mann -- mandelman for recognizing our work. we started in 1997 and it's true that we couldn't get any funding from foundations or grants. def we had to do a lot of community safety planning at the time. i'm proud we're still here. we are the world's first longest running transgender festival and despite the waves of gentrification that have pushed out a lot of our communities we're still here. i'm still here, thanks to rent control.

i want to put that in the room and i hope we're here to more years and i'd like to thank you for recognizing the transgender community and recognizing the festival. thank you, supervisor. >> supervisor: congratulations to you, shauna. we're proud of you. all right, madame clerk, actually, supervisor kim. thank you, supervisor kim. do you have someone special you'd like to recognize? excellent. we'd love to hear it. >> so i wanted to bring up the members of the tenderloin safe

passages. we're going to show a little bit of a video too. i'll start to speak while we're tuning the video up and getting members of our safe passages team to the podium. >> if you'll key up the video.

first of all, it's incredibly heartwarming to see everybody make it today. i wanted to take some time to recognize this amazing group of tenderloin residents, who over the last 12 years have been working to develop a program from the ground up to make our neighborhood safer. today or this month marks the 10 month anniversary of the tenderloin safe passages program. it began in 2008 when a group of tenderloin mothers from levels latina were brain storming how to make streets safer for children and you know the challenges many people in the tenderloin face. one issue we heard about for is how children felt walking back

and forth to school and while we continue to work with our incredible men and women at the police station and city, residents felt they needed to take matters in their own hand. it's a collaborative effort that has now grown into a daily program of the tenderloin district. and it promotes a culture of safety particularly at intersections with high levels of activity challenged by pedestrian safety issues. many may remember the yellow brick road which began the program 150 years ago and it was a mass of corridors we felt would be safe for children, family and seniors at all times. we also wanted to make sure there were members of our community out on the streets to implement this type of culture known as the safe passage captains before you here today.

they're the heart and soul of the program and they stand at designated corners in the afternoon every day to serve children coming home from school as well as seniors in the morning and in fact i know see safe passage volunteers safe passages provides a group that led the charge to reclaim the decker part in the incredible place it is today. and it's one of my proud accomplishments in my work in the community in the tenderloin neighborhood. over the last two years, the reach of the program has tripled in size creating economic opportunities for residents through programs and stipends and it leads the work of the program and south and market is part of our safe passage program

and we operate in the morning and afternoon and expanding safety groups in the tenderloin and safe passages accompanied by walking services. i want to take a moment to thank the tenderloin improvement partnership of the st. francis foundation. you're an integral part of making the concept and vision a reality. and the office of economic and workforce development for their continued support. i have to say the program would not have happened if not for the per -- perseverance of our residents. these are our residents volunteering every day to make the neighborhoods safer for everyone. i'm going to do a few quick shouts and we'll show the beginning of the tenderloin video on the screen. it will better document the program than i can. >> i see the families of

community together and i see what they have to navigate through with drug dealing and safe passage came when mothers came together over the concern for their kids' safety and called on neighborhood leaders and organizations to respond to the need. >> it was hard taking kids on the street and knowing you can do everything you can to keep kids safe and the minute they walked out the door you didn't know what was going on. >> in the early days we'd meet every week to determine what the program would be. >> in stead of kids navigating

through drug dealings and the streets they see us in our green vests. >> they make sure we're not going get hit by the cars. [speaking spanish] >> i was exciting when i saw kids with smiles. >> i love how we can help the people out there. >> i make sure they're safe >> the people that were

homeless, i've been those people. you just have to treat them with respect. >> you can't tell someone they can't be on the sidewalk. we help create a safe place for the kids. >> you have to see out in action and i encourage my colleagues to go out and 2:30 when you're normally out ensuring our kids are safe, it's a visual and a remindery love the neighborhood so much and i want to thank you for demonstrating what leadership means and what happens when we care and are generous to neighbors and what

it makes a neighborhood look like. i'm proud to serve this community. thank you so much. >> thank you, supervisor kim, for your support of the program from day one. you used to be out on the corners with us i remember that. thank you for this day. this has been an incredible 10 years of tenderloin residents working together and create solution for their community. it's a true honor and everybody in this room has been an integral part of every moment. we partner with sfpd and we have

grown under steve gibson's leadership and partner with ucsf medical school. we've been funded with oewd. it's taken a whole community effort to build a culture of safety which is our mission. we're out there, rain, shine, smoke, when the kids are out there, we're out there and it's their neighborhoods looking after them. this is collective impact at it's greatest. we're expanding. we are continuing our leadership development. we continue to hire residents and we continue to have safe streets in the tenderloin and beyond. we invite everybody to be a part of this. we include everybody. join us. thank you for the honor. thank you everybody i apologize if i missed anybody.

it's taken so many people. levels latina and work the moms before 2008 an incredible community effort and thank you for honoring the residents of the tenderloin today. we're going to do a quick photo.

>> we'll head outside. >> congratulations to you all. >> supervisor: madame clerk it's a few minutes before 3:00. let's go back to our business. i believe we left off at items calling items 14 through 18. >> clerk: these items were

referred without recommendation with the land use and transportation committee. we have items that pertain to the central south of market area plan. item 14 is an ordinance to amend the general plan by adding the central south of market area and making amendments to the commerce element and urban design and housing and land use index and east sow ma and west soma plan and amend the administrative planning code and item 16 is the ordinance to amend the zoning map of the planning code to create the central south of market special use district and to make other amendment to the height and bulk district maps and zoning use district maps consistent with the central soma area plan. item 17 is the ordinance to amend the business and tax regulations an planning codes to create the marketing district to provide administerial approval

process meeting specific labor on site affordability creating an exped ited board of peels process and amending the code of taxing law to authorize special facilities an services for the planning area and for each items to make the appropriate findings. >> thank you, madame clerk. i appreciate you reading items 14 through 18 and i want to recognize supervisor kim. have a couple amendments i believe you want to share with us. >> supervisor: the amendments don't end for the central soma plan but a member of our community pointed out discrepancies in regards to an amendment i made at land use regarding our publicly owned --

our privately owned open public spaces. we do have copies of the amendments as well as a section code and page and line that will clarify the guidelines of reflecting the changes the amendment was made and a living wall guideline with city policy an conforming the zoning table to reflect the amendments on the october 29 committee to removing the incentive for popsos and allowing the housing units. i thought the amendments were not ready but actually our clerk is passing out the amendments to my colleagues right now. >> supervisor: is this what the amendments look like? >> supervisor: yes. it is to reflect the intention of amendments made at land use

october 29. it was pointed out to us it was not stricken in our plan which is often difficult to highlight and these are all technical amendments that substantive amendments made at land use committee. i ask we make a motion to adopt the technical amendments an this now becomes the first reading and we'll have the second reading next tuesday.d this now becomes the first reading and we'll have the second reading next tuesday. >> supervisor: before we do that, i'd like to take a moment, supervisor kim, the amendments are not substantive, they're technical? >> supervisor: they were already made at land use committee october 29, however there are multiple parts of the code that reflect different areas of the plan.

we may refer to popos in that one section and amend it appropriately and it comes up in two other sections where we did not make the same amendment. by the way, this is a never ending process and this is one the action network note the amendment the community requested was not appropriately mended throughout the plan but none of the amendments are substantive. they're reflektded in the plan itself. they're just cleanup. >> thank you, supervisor. i appreciate that. these amendments will require a second reading and it will happen in january? >> it won't happen on december 4? >> supervisor: it should. thank you. thank you for the clarification.

we have a second reading coming. so supervisor kim made a motion to accept an amendment expanded by supervisor peskin. without objection. >> supervisor kim made an amendment to item 15. that amendment triggers another first reading. all the other ordinances are still on second reading. board has a choice on the other central soma items to pass them on second reading today or continue them to line up with item 15 for a second reading. >> supervisor: supervisor kim, i see you shaking your head no. >> thank you, mr. gibner for that clarification. i'd like to pass all other items as a final read and just vote on

item 15 as a first read. >> supervisor: okay. i'd like to make a motion to duplicate the file -- >> no, duplication. >> i'm suggesting item 15 passes on first reading as amended. >> supervisor: let me make a motion to rescind the vote and take item 15 and go 16 through 18. may i have a motion to rescind the vote on items 15 through 18. >> i didn't think we did. >> supervisor: we did vote. may i have a motion to -- >> i don't think we have to do anything. mr. gibner? >> i would defer to the clerk on

what the motion that was adopted. >> it was just the amendment to item 15. >> supervisor: do we need to take another vote? >> you'd need to take a vote to pass items 14 through 18 minus 15. item 15 would be adopted on first reading as amended. >> what about my request to duplicate items 14 through 18 picking out item 15. >> clerk: that would be a different stand alone request on your behalf, madame president. >> supervisor: what is the procedure? is there a seconded needed -- >> clerk: to duplicate the file, no, madame president. have you an independent right to duplicate the fight -- file but you need a motion to amend. >> supervisor: why would we be duplicating the file? >> in my opinion to make sure the amendment we'll be hearing or be in sync with what will be

finally passed. >> so what the city attorney was clarifying is whether we want to hold all the tight -- items to be read and passed next week or pass the others today and item 15 next week as a final read but it doesn't require duplication of the file. >> supervisor: my agi
